Graham, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Your dad was a wonderful man and left this physical world too soon but at least now he is at peace and not suffering or hurting anymore.

Doris and Bill,
I just heard about Paul's passing when I saw Theresa. Harry and I are so sorry for your lost. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to lose a son before you have your "calling." We are also both very sorry to hear of both of your most recent health problems. If there is anything we can do, other than prayer, please let us know.

Sincerely,
Marian and Harry Seigla

My prayers are with each of you...I knew Paul in junior high (Franklin County) and reconnected with Bill and Doris in later years when I became a minister in the VA Conference...may God bring peace and comfort in your grief.

Dear Family of Paul Ferguson,
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Paul was one of the gentlest souls that I have ever known and I was proud to call him my friend. Knowing my buddy he would be embarrassed by all of this attention and likely would have a witty comeback for all of us.

Pastor Ed Dobson once said that "Humans have the capacity to think they will live forever. You ain't living forever. So what can I do with the limited time that I have to make a difference?"

Paul made a difference, with his caring friendly nature, his gentleness,...

My deepest sympathies to the family. I adored Paul...it was a pleasure to see him and talk to him every day when I saw him at work, where I met him 4 years ago. He had the best outlook on life and the best never-give-up attitude...I thought for sure he was going to beat this disease, but as someone else said, I guess the Lord decided it was time to call him home. Paul was several months younger than me...definitely gone too soon.

Paul will always be a part of our lives.
